"Million Follower Detective" Shows The Dangers Of Fame-Seeking Amidst A Cyber-Crime Infested Web

Crime dramas can be rather addictive. I remember watching Copycat Killer, Victim's Game, and Regeneration. This time, I felt like watching Million Follower Detective -- a crime drama that explores the generation gaps. Ekin Cheng, who's currently 58 YEARS OLD, plays a father (named Chen Chia-jen) with an estranged daughter named Chen Chia-jen (played by Buffy Chen). This one presents generational gaps given that Buffy is born in 2000 and Ekin is 58 years old -- playing the father/daughter team. Buffy is estranged from her father.

The series involves the mysterious character Witch Baba. Witch Baba is a mysterious influencer who could apparently foretell the future. However, behind Witch Baba's predictions is actually a series of deceptions. The recurring villain is Kuo Ta-fu, a doctor who is bitter about life. Ta-fu is someone who forces Witch Baba to read the predictions. Ta-fu is also an insane vigilante. Why does Ta-fu hate influencers so much? However, behind it all, there's also a mysterious villain that has been pulling the strings. What if Witch Baba was just an innocent victim? What if someone you trust is the one behind it all? 

This drama has a lot of spoilers. It's just eight episodes, but it's intense. It makes one think about checking on one's loved ones, avoiding the algorithm trap, and being ready to develop legal literacy. It's not about signing up for law school but learning to understand legalities.
